Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    Young people have no hope of buying a house in my area.

    In my neighborhood all the drug store shelves are bare (Rite Aid) and there’s soon to be only one grocery store to choose from (Kroger).

    When I’m getting groceries the checkers are talking about how the store is going to close if the merger happens and they’ll all lose their jobs.

    No ‘media’ lied to me and convinced me that the economy is wack. I see it every day.

    What I’m not hearing in the media is recognition of working folks’ struggles. Failure to address this kept Dems home.

      I’m really sorry to hear that. Would it help if I showed you a graph that shows the stock market is actually doing great?

          Huh. I’m generally wary of any group that has an Eye of Providence in their logo or uses the term, “New World Order,” but that was cathartic to watch.

            unfortunately something like this is not posted by any other channel popular enough to come up on shitty youtube search.

            the guy in the video is jose vega, he ran for congress as lrp candidate in nyd 15 and got about 2.5% vote.

            here is more detailed video on a more apt channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK0FivR_B1A

              Oh, haha, that’s much more reassuring. I assumed it was someone affiliated in the channel, and I was like, “Uh-oh, how long before this guy launches into an antisemitic conspiracy theory about lizard people?”

                this made me realise how depressing it is when even lunatic channels have more relevant content for working class than our msm with 24/7 peddling of gaslighting bs.
